Important history information but the music is unnecessary and is distracting. This is as a class. In academic classes music does not help and is not allowed. Adding background music indirectly gives the misleading message that background music is necessary in order to learn.

This song is so beautiful. I first heard of it about 2005. James Weldon Johnson had also been given a position in the U.S. State Department under Teddy Roosevelt but sometime later Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the US government.

So the over confident fledgling nation of the USA got its butt kicked by the poms. Most in the US find this defeat very hard to swallow even now over 200 years later. A lot of US history books only mention the Battle of New Orleans as the main battle of the 1812 War in which US troops thrashed the Brits. Only problem is the armistice had already been signed and the battle took place after the US admitted defeat. In more detailed histories written by US authors, the US authors talk about the support provided by the native Americans to the Brits suggesting that the Brits wouldn’t have won without native support. US folks need to get over it. The US lost, get over it.

The first powered plane flight was by a twenty-five year old New Zealander, Richard Pearse on March 31, 1902. just before the Wright brothers but not very well known

When New Zealand produces the slightest shred of evidence beyond old stories repeated as bar talk, then aviation historians will start to take that claim seriously.

Thank you for giving credit to Gustave Whitehead with "First in Flight" in 1901 beating the Wright Brothers by 2 years in Bridgeport Connecticut.
@mikearmstrong8483
@mikearmstrong8483 Месяц назад
There is no evidence of Whitehead ever flying in 1901. He claimed to have flown 5 miles, but could not provide witnesses. Interviewed years later, his story had a lot of discrepancies and contradictions. When asked to show his designs, he produced drawings that he admitted were not of the craft that he claimed to have flown, and were technologically outdated already in 1901.

Too bad this guy skipped over gliders which led to the Wright flyer. Example: Sir George Cayley (1773-1857) built the world's first hand-launched glider in 1804. It was five feet long and was the first example of the configuration of a modern aircraft, with separate systems for lift and control. Cayley deserves to be remembered as the first aeronautical engineer. Also missing is rocketry which led to the space shuttle and moon landings.

It wasn’t uncommon for a rival suitor for a lady to either goad a rival whom they knew they could easily beat into a duel .. or employ someone else accomplished in the art of dueling to act as proxy ..

The reason it is under Imperial rule is due to the fact that the United States is a foreign corporation held in the city of London. Look it up, it's a business. Also, pay close attention to the banking act.

According to the federal government A. U. S citizen is one that is born in the 10 square miles of Washington DC and/or its Territories, such as Puerto Rico or Guam. If that is not the case, then you are something else claiming to be AU. S citizen by proxy by Cor even. Out of negligence

Gore Vidal, a novelist and distant relative of Aaron Burr wrote a book titled "BURR', in the book he claimed that Hamilton accused Burr of an incestuous relationship with his daughter. Vidal also claimed that his family had letters written by Burr to his daughter that may corroborate Hamiltons claims.

No No and NO !!! This got a lot worse when Burr trying to stay in politics was in the process of shifting to Kentucky . The Kentucky legislature was so much against Burr that they wrote a clause into the OATH a Kentucky Governor swears to become the Governor . In that oath the person has to swear they have not fought in a duel , thereby keeping Burr from ever becoming the governor of Kentucky !

A better theory is Hamilton cheated and used rigged pistols with a set trigger. Burr did not know about the set trigger, Hamilton set it and then accidentally fired too soon. You need to update this.
